Six fluid ounces is 3/4 cup. Most measuring sets have no 3/4 cup scoop, so combine the 1/2 cup and the 1/4 cup, or count out 12 tablespoons.
A small coffee cup or teacup holds about this much, and some coffee makers use 6 fl oz as one "cup" on the carafe. If you are scaling a coffee recipe, read the carafe lines instead of assuming 8 fl oz.
Six ounces by weight is a different story. A recipe calling for 6 oz of chocolate chips wants about 1 cup of chips, since a cup of chips weighs about 170 g. See 3/4 cup in tablespoons for more spoon swaps.
